Manchester City's head coach Pep Guardiola has openly discussed his squad policy ahead of the highly significant Champions League clash against Real Madrid. The Catalan specialist admitted that he has faced criticism recently for making complete lineup changes in certain matches, and emphasized that he does not intend to take such a risky decision this time.
During his conversation with journalists, the coach stated:
"No, this time there will not be such drastic changes. I remember when I completely changed the lineup against Bayer. Then you — the journalists — criticized me harshly. Honestly, I do not want to go through that situation again. In such moments, I felt powerless."
Guardiola's statement suggests that he is taking the match against Real Madrid very seriously and plans to rely on his key players. Considering that the match could be one where tactical stability and experience play a decisive role, this decision was largely expected by many fans.
The clash between City and Real has always been characterized by high pressure, intense dynamics, and a showcase of skill. This time is expected to be no different, with Guardiola aiming to maintain stability in the lineup to choose the most optimal path to victory.
